Public bug reported:

I appreciate the enhanced settings for the touchpad, but the touchpad
behaves "wrong" when changing the global primary key to "right". The
touchpad click also changes from "left" one finger to, "right" two
finger tips for a normal click.

This might be expected technically, as the option is defined as a
general/global one, but it is bad. This is a very annoying behavior for
left handers or people with limited motion.

There should be a separation of concerns for the mouse and the touchpad.
The mouse click behavior should not be mapped to the touchpad. I think
the changing click should only be a mouse option or two separated
options; on for left/right for the mouse and another local option for
one finger/two fingers click for the touchpad.
